All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

*BAN*

 

Boise and the surrounding area has some really fun trail riding. The Military Reserve area is similar terrain to the BST around SLC, but is a much more extensive network, less crowded and generally built/maintained better.

If you're inclined you can connect the Military Reserve trails up to Bogus Basin. Bogus itself is small, but has some fun trails Around the Mountain is a short but fun ride. They have a bike park there, but again, fairly small. The real money trail is dropping into Eastside/Sweet Connie just down hill from Bogus's lot. That trail is incredibly fun (fast), has some really neat features... optional log rides, awesome rock features, skinnies. Starts out in piney forest and ends up in the sagebrush lowlands. It is fast and it is loose and it is loose. Like, really loose- late season Park City riding feels like asphalt compared to Boise!

I hear La Grande, Oregon has some pretty fun riding as well. Might be a good pit stop between Seattle and Boise, get out and stretch the legs... I've been through there and the terrain seems like it would lend itself to good riding, but I've never had the opportunity to stop and check it out.

+1 on the 1up!

 

Have a buddy in Boise so it'd just be a overnight couch crashing then on my way to B-ham. I can ride at his place any time I want. The point of this trip would be BC, it's just a matter of getting there.

Def heard about La Grande area through a buddy that sings it's praises too.

 

Um. when you goign? I was goign to do one of those this past year and hit up Canada like crazy but...covid. so this year or next might be my time.

 

Next summer. Border's still closed and my bonus 2 weeks isnt until next calendar year

 

Uh...keep me posted. If you don't mind someone else tagging along, or meeting up somewhere up there. I'll totally join.

 

Deal.

Would be good to have a buddy to ride with in bear country. Except I'm the slower of us two

 

1Up. Installed in stock bumper/receiver it easily clears the tailgate with two bikes, when the rack is tilted down.

 

Hah! Damn it. You've discovered my plan!

 

The bears will be able to easily spot me in my new helmet on the way

 

well, my current helmet is red so...they'll probably be seeing blood? haha.

 

Pictures don’t do it justice. But this is my future bike cave. Yes, those are 150gallon water tanks hooked up to solar.

It is heated and cooled.

 

Is that actually a picture of you? You ride with a pony tail? I got a full mane going, locks down to/past my shoulders. I normally push my hair back and let my helmet hold it in place

 

No, that's the vitalmtb dude I think.

I got a ponytail myself and I stick it in between my helmet and the cinch. works pretty well.

 

I dont. But @ginseng27 totally does

 

The problem is you guys have way too much good riding to hit in a week. I could be in Van to Whistler for a month and be left missing out

 

I sure hope the border opens up so I can go ride and explore up there this summer.

 

Ive heard theyre working on it pretty heavily.

 

I feel like riding in Canada’s sea to sky corridor is some overrated BS that some maple syrup propaganda factory is cooking up. I thought the same thing about Moab and I was completely wrong. Better start planning my trip to Canada!
